Great Exuma, Bahamas

Charming Island Sands

Top yachters flock here for the glass-like cruising waters and
countless secluded bays. Anglers worship these grounds for the
fishing, from offshore angling to fly-casting for the elusive
bonefish. Beach lovers adore the powdery-soft sand, and the myriad
underwater gardens captivate those who don a mask and fins. The
charms of this enchanting island are, in a word, dazzling. And yet,
with all these adventures at hand, the spirit is casual and classic
Caribbean. Your Destination Concierge will help you sort out
classic island dilemmas like: spa appointment or round of golf?
Fresh conch or the local pig roast? On Great Exuma, every answer is
the right one.

Fresh Things To Do

Swim with Pigs

On Big Major Cay, a small, uninhabited island, you'll find
beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water and swimming pigs. As you
approach by boat, they'll jump in and swim to you, hoping for a
free meal. Bring a suit and swim with them!

Saltwater Fly-Fishing?

If you're ever going to try bone fishing, the Bahamas is the
place to do it. The islands offer some of the best bone fishing in
the world. Just minutes from the resort, you can find prime fishing
flats with bonefish of all sizes.

Localize

Just north of George Town, you'll find a collection of informal
beach huts known as The Fish Fry. Go for a delicious Bahamian
dinner of fresh fish or cracked conch, grab a beer and sit down at
a picnic table with the island's locals.

Get Stranded

Get "stranded" on a deserted island with all the things you
could want for an idyllic afternoon. Beach chairs, an umbrella and
snorkel gear or cold beers and gourmet treats for a picnic? Your
Destination Concierge can arrange it.

A Good Roasting

Clear your Sunday afternoon for the weekly pig roast at the
Stocking Island Chat' N' Chill. The pig roast goes from noon to
7:00 p.m., but they often fill up by 2:00 p.m., so get there early!
Note: they accept cash only.

Ocean Tourin’

Ask your concierge to book a full- or half-day tour to see the
Exuma Cays as they are meant to be seen: via water. Pick a tour
tailored to your interests, from conch diving and reef fishing to
snorkeling and feeding giant iguanas.

Featured Activity

Make Life a Beach

When you're at Grand Isle Resort and Spa, there will be a world
of amenities at your fingertips, and amazing ocean activities close
at hand. But since this is the Bahamas, beach living takes
precedence. Here are our favorites around the island.

The beach at Grand Isle Resort &
Spa. Just steps away from your residence, this is a
beautiful white-sand beach on Emerald Bay, with lounge chairs and
umbrellas for your use.

Coco Plum. This family-friendly
beach is located in Rolleville, about 15 minutes away. It's great
for shell and sand dollar searching during low tide.

Jolly Hall. Located in George
Town, about 30 minutes away, Jolly Hall is a beautiful,
crescent-shaped and secluded beach.

Tropic of Cancer Beach. One of the
prettiest beaches in the Exuma chain, you'll know you found it when
you see a small hut with benches and the Tropic of Cancer name
carved into the ramp leading down to the beach. This beach is on
Little Exuma, which is about an hour away.

Our Member Services and Destination Concierge teams are always happy to share additional details on this Featured Activity and other information about vacationing with Inspirato in this destination.

On-Site Spa

Located on site is the intimate SeaStar Spa, featuring a variety
of skin and body therapies and manicure/pedicure services.
Treatments are available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with
extended hours upon request.

Try Some Conch

The Bahamas are known for fresh conch, and Big D's Conch Spot in
Steventon is the place to go here. In addition to Bahamian cuisine,
seafood and burgers, Big D's is known for its freshly made conch
salad, beach-side location and laid-back atmosphere.

Locals’ Brunch

Located on the north tip of Great Exuma, Exuma Point Beach Bar
& Grille is the place to go for an authentic Bahamian buffet
lunch on the weekends. On request and with advanced reservations,
they will accommodate larger parties for dinner during the
week.

Customs

Connecting in Nassau is a great option to get to Great Exuma.
However, please note that we recommend scheduling at least 3.5
hours to connect through Nassau, as security and customs get
cleared at this airport and both take about an hour.

Golf Next Door

Next door is the Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club, featuring a
championship 18-hole Greg Norman-designed course with six holes
hugging the bay. Tee times are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and
from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
